We report on the development of low-noise quasi-optical SIS mixers for the frequency range
400-850 GHz. The mixers utilize twin-slot antennas, two-junction tuning circuits, and Nb-
trilayer junctions. Fourier-transform spectrometry has been used to verify that the frequency
response of the devices is well predicted by computer simulations. The 400-850 GHz
frequency band can be covered with four separate fixed-tuned mixers. We measure
uncorrected double-sideband receiver noise temperatures around 5h/spl nu//k/sub B/to 700 …
We report on the development of low-noise quasi-optical SIS mixers for the frequency range 400-850 GHz. The mixers utilize twin-slot antennas, two-junction tuning circuits, and Nb-trilayer junctions. Fourier-transform spectrometry has been used to verify that the frequency response of the devices is well predicted by computer simulations. The 400-850 GHz frequency band can be covered with four separate fixed-tuned mixers. We measure uncorrected double-sideband receiver noise temperatures around 5h/spl nu//k/sub B/ to 700 GHz, and better than 540 K at 808 GHz. These results are among the best reported to date for broadband heterodyne receivers.
